A Museum You Won’t Want to Leave
The Sail, Power, and Steam Museum doesn’t just honor Maine’s maritime past; it celebrates and shares sea-going culture with everyone who visits. Someone calls a song and starts it off, and whether it’s a Beatles standard, a sea shanty, or a ’70s country ballad, everyone in the circle of two dozen or so musicians falls right in. Their ages run the gamut, and so do their instruments: guitar, harmonica, keyboard, mandolin, fife, fiddle, drum set. I’m tapping my foot, turning my head like an owl, and wishing two things: That I’d brought a tambourine. And that I lived here in Rockland, in the Midcoast region of Maine, where this ring of music makers at the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum is representative of an even larger community of boating and history lovers who are committed to keeping Maine’s maritime traditions—and this spirited non-profit—thriving.
